What the petition asks

To help stop knife crime..

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Police Officers already have the power to stop and search someone if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect that someone is carrying certain things, including a weapon. We're therefore not exactly sure what further action you'd like to see. You can find out more about the police's current stop and search powers here: https://www.gov.uk/police-powers-to-stop-and-search-your-rights

We currently have this petition open about knife crime which you may wish to sign:
